    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion on the nomination of Members to serve in the SBC. These are continuing Members because they served in the First Session and the Second Session. Basically the Senate will not need to spend resources on capacity building and training because they already have experience and have been trained. I wanted to speak so as to convey my condolences to the family of Kelvin Kiptum on behalf of the great people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County and my family. He was from Chepsamo Village, Chepkorio Location, Elgeyo-Marakwet County. Kelvin was a young, promising man. Last year, he ran the Chicago Marathon in two hours and 35 seconds. Therefore, we thought that this year he would run under two hours. However, it is unfortunate that he passed on Sunday night through a road accident. As the Senator, I convey our condolences to his family, relatives, the great people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County and Kenyans at large, as well as the family of his coach in Rwanda and Kenya. This young man was going to go very far. He ran his first race in 2018 in borrowed shoes. He was going to be a great man. This has happened and we do not have a choice. Ours is to accept that it was God’s will at this time. He was a young family and I urge the Government of Kenya Kwanza to give him a State burial. I also thank the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports for going to condole with the family."
